The enzymatic degradation of lignocellulosic materials by fungal enzyme systems has been extensively studied due to its effectiveness in the liberation of fermentable sugars for bioethanol production. Recently, variants of the fungus Penicillium echinulatum have been described as a great producer...

Poly (L-latic acid) (PLLA) is a bioresorbable polymer widely used as a biomaterial, but its fragility can limit its use. An alternative is to produce polymer nanocomposites, which can enhance the mechanical properties of polymeric matrix, resulting in a material with differentiated prop...

Dental implants, inserted into the oral cavity, are subjected to a synergistic interaction of wear and corrosion (tribocorrosion), which may lead to implant failures. The objective of this study was to investigate the tribocorrosion behavior of Ti oxide films produced by micro-arc oxida...

Reorderable matrices may be used as support for tabular displays such as heatmaps. Matrix reordering algorithms provide an initial permutation of these matrices, which should help to reveal hidden patterns in the dataset in the visual structure. Some of t

The degradation of the antibiotic cephalexin (CEX) was studied by UV direct photolysis and hydrogen peroxide combined with UVC and solar radiation. A factorial plan was used to evaluate the efficiency of the processes and the influence of variables. UVC d

Effluent treatment for food industry wastewater is a subject of growing concern among the scientific community. Synthetic dyes are a major case and their presence can disturb aquatic environments and introduce highly toxic potentials to the ecosystem, eve
